"I played the new Pixel Junk Eden expansion Pixel Junk Eden Encore today and learned what's new about this. There are five new levels. They are accessed through a portal in the standard Eden garden menu, which leads to an Encore-specific garden. The levels share the aesthetic of the original game's but I was told by a Sony rep that they are larger and full of new ideas. The biggest idea may be the new move which will also be retroactively added to Eden itself when Encore comes out next month: Activating three seeds in one move causes all of the pollen-filled floating entities on the screen to detonate at once into a massive amount of pollen."

Love Pixel junk games. Great fun and good music that just fits the games properly. I go Eden/encore, Monsters/deluxe/encore and I just picked up Shooter (gotta stop shooting workers LOL). I tried PJ Racer but wasn't for me. I highly recomend these games especially if you got kids/cousins/nefew/neices.
Yeah, gotta love the music for these games. I myself did not really care for Racers either, but I still picked it up to support the team at continuing making great games.
Absolutely LOVE PixelJunk games. I hope their games sell tons and they continue to do what they love!
